This Blog will be short and sweet. An apartment complex I have listed For Sale in a very small town in central Nebraska is partially closed. Seller has completely signed and the buyer will finalize their docs in about 2 hours!It might seem like a pretty normal closing except this complex has 14 units in a town of about 350 people.  Somewhat rare for small towns.The positive is the buyers are from a small town about 100 miles north and understand small town Nebraska.  Plus the University of Nebraska Cattle Research Center is 8 miles away and the consolidated high school is 3 miles away...with a John Deere dealership and large Co-op elevator are within a mile.  Very unique setup that these buyers will reap the rewards from over time. Had two other deals that buyers backed out of on it...a...

Simply put, your friends, family, neighbors and co-workers are very likely not skilled at putting a real estate transaction together, trouble shooting hurdles of the transaction, and getting it to close.Although they may have bought a house or three, there are always changes in the industry, which they likely are not abreast of.  Additionally, each seller, buyer and house makes up their own recipe, and each transaction is different.   Sharing your transactional details with many other well meaning people is likely to make you confused, stressed and according to a recent client of mine, "I can't sleep at night".You hired your agent to guide and advise because you trust them.  If you ask 10 people their opinion, you are likely to get many different answers., leading to confusion and stres...

I'd like to take this moment to remind my friends in New Jersey (this applies everywhere)  how irrelevant national real estate news is.Simply put, every town , county and region throughout the USA are somewhat unique in terms of housing inventory, demand for housing, and economic factors.So the next time your nightly TV news has a national real estate update, I suggest you change the channel.  What is happening in Tallahassee, Florida is different from what is happening in Ogden Utah and certainly different from what is happening market wise In Burlington, New Jersey.If you want a true, honest, accurate market update on the value of your New Jersey property, please contact me.  If I don't service your area, I know someone who does.  (609) 864-8164.

Many people believe that to begin, you need a cash reserve, good credit, and assets. However, this is simply not true. You can get started with just a few hundred dollars when opening an escrow account, and if your funds are limited, you can potentially secure financing from several sources, such as an FHA loan, a hard-money lender, a home equity line of credit, a personal loan, or a cash-out refinance. So if you’ve been thinking about entering the world of real estate investing, take the leap—with the right strategies and understanding, it can be an excellent way to invest in your future.   Investment options The types of investments that follow are among the most popular, but it can be helpful to discuss the best option for your specific situation with a real estate agent and financia...

US Migration patterns are clearly showing Americans are moving in large numbers to the Southern most warm states of Arizona, Florida and Texas. Why is that?
